Wang Ruoshan held Shen Xing's wood carving in her hand and still felt uneasy after walking out of the "Tingwu" wood carving shop.
During this month, she basically suffered from insomnia every night, dared not go out, and could not live like a normal person.
She went to see a psychiatrist, but after evaluation, she concluded that she had no psychological problems, but she could still see the scene, which could appear in front of her anywhere and at any time.
The doctor concluded that it was a type of hallucination, which may be related to recent excessive mental stress or personal emotions.
But Wang Ruoshan knew very well that she was not under any mental pressure. She was always in a good mood, optimistic, cheerful and positive.
But the fear of that scene could never be erased from her heart, which made Wang Ruoshan almost subconsciously hold the wooden sculpture in her arms, trying to find comfort from the outside world.
Originally she didn't want to come out, but her cousin knew that she had stayed at home for too long and insisted on dragging her out to relax today, so the two of them went for a walk in the park.
But that scene soon appeared in front of her eyes. Wang Ruoshan didn't wait for the scene to end, and immediately turned away and didn't dare to look at it again.
Her cousin noticed her fear. Although she didn't know what she was afraid of, she quickly pulled her out of the park and chose to go shopping in a crowded place.
Under normal circumstances, one of the best ways for girls to relieve negative emotions is shopping. As long as they enjoy shopping, whether it is a broken love or other troubles, they will usually be greatly relieved.
The two bought some clothes, jewelry, perfume and other items in the mall. Then when they passed the door of Tingwu Wood Carving Shop, Wang Ruoshan stopped involuntarily and turned to look inside.
Her cousin did not stop them. After the two entered the store, Guo Liangliang received them.
Wang Ruoshan asked him directly if there were any wood carvings to ward off evil spirits in the store. Then Guo Liangliang's eyes lit up and he immediately recommended Shen Xing's wood carvings.
Following Shen Xing's initial instructions, Guo Liangliang packed the designated wood carvings for Wang Ruoshan.
Although she didn't know why this evil-warming wooden sculpture looked like a stranger, rather than a Bodhisattva or Buddha statue, Wang Ruoshan didn't care, as long as the wood carving was indeed consistent with what Guo Liangliang said and could ward off ghosts and evil spirits.
"One thousand yuan each. I don't know if it will work yet. Sister Ruoshan, I feel like you have been cheated." After leaving the wood carving shop, her cousin walked next to Wang Ruoshan and stared at the Shen Xing wood carving wrapped in red cloth. face of doubt.
According to Guo Liangliang's sales method, anything that can ward off evil spirits must be wrapped in red cloth after going out. This will appear more solemn and mysterious. In fact, this will form a certain degree of psychological suggestion.
In fact, Shen Xing's wood carvings must be exposed to the outside to achieve the best effect. This thing is used to shock. If it is not seen by others, the shock effect will be suppressed a lot.
However, Guo Liangliang's method just convinced people that the wood carving was effective, at least now Wang Ruoshan was convinced of it.
In fact, there are more than just this exorcism ornaments in her home. Wang Ruoshan even wears amulet-like things on her wrists, ankles and neck. Now she has the attitude of seeking medical treatment indiscriminately. As long as she feels that something is useful, she will buy it immediately. Come down and put it next to you.
Wang Ruoshan has always had fear, which caused the moment she held the wooden sculpture, the wooden sculpture began to absorb her fear. Shen Xingyuan immediately discovered that he had an extra progress bar called "Characteristic Energy" in Chuanping City. , and the value starts to increase slowly.
Holding the wooden sculpture in their arms, the two sisters left the mall. When they were in the lobby on the first floor, Wang Ruoshan's eyes turned to a high-end clothing store next to the lobby.
At this time, a tall waitress wearing a dark blue uniform was standing at the door of the store, welcoming tourists with a smile to come in and choose. Her eyes quickly met Wang Ruoshan's.
But at this moment, the waitress turned around with a smile and carried a wooden stool, and took out a red rope used to tie large bags of clothes from behind the counter. She stood on the wooden stool and tied the strong red rope. The rope was wrapped around the beam of the electric lower gate, tied with a knot at the lower end, and then put around the neck.
During this process, she remained silent and smiling, and did not look at Wang Ruoshan, who was now looking frightened. There was a strong contrast between the waitress's actions and her own behavior at the moment, which made people see it later. Feeling extremely unwell.
After the waitress put her head into the tied red rope, she kicked off the wooden stool under her feet. Her neck was tightly entangled with the red rope, and all the force of her falling body was on her neck. Local condensation and pressurization.
The waitress's expression suddenly changed, and her smile turned into pain, fear, and helplessness.
A pair of eyes widened, staring at Wang Ruoshan who was passing by.
At this time, it seemed that no one except Wang Ruoshan had seen her strange behavior, including Wang Ruoshan's cousin who was still talking to her, her eyes passing by the door of the clothing store without stopping at all.
The hanged waitress's face began to turn purple and blue, slightly swollen and congested, and veins protruded above her neck. Her body did not struggle, and she just stared at Wang Ruoshan strangely.
Wang Ruoshan didn't dare to look anymore. She immediately turned around and hugged the wooden sculpture wrapped in red cloth tightly in her hands, her fear level being absorbed by it.
"What did you do? Cousin, did you see that hallucination again?" The cousin next to her noticed Wang Ruoshan's abnormal expression at this time, and subconsciously turned her head and looked around, but found nothing.
In my cousin's opinion, the waitress at the door of the clothing store was standing there with a warm smile on her face. She seemed friendly to everyone who passed by and did not behave in any other unusual way.
After leaving the mall, at Wang Ruoshan's strong request, her cousin hailed a taxi on the street, and the two chose to go home immediately instead of going elsewhere.
Wang Ruoshan had just started working and was not married yet. There were many boys chasing her, but she had not confirmed a boyfriend and still lived with her parents.
The community where he lives is a bit old, but no matter how old it is, it is better than the Ivy Community where Shen Xing first rented. There are two units in a building, and each unit has only two households on the first floor, facing each other.
A guard box is set up at the entrance of the community, and security guards hired by the owners' committee are on duty three shifts a day.
After Wang Ruoshan and her cousin got off the bus on the street, she felt a little weak. Her cousin immediately supported her and they walked to the gate of the community.
At this time, the security guard standing outside the guard box was pacing at the gate of the community. When he saw the two people coming, he immediately smiled and nodded.
Wang Ruoshan also knew him and remembered that the security guard's surname seemed to be Xiang. She reluctantly nodded to him.
But at this moment, as if the security guard didn't see it, he took out the electric baton from his waist. With a smile on his face, he adjusted the current level of the electric baton to the highest level, and then pressed the end that releases the current on on his own neck.
He still kept smiling, turned his head and stared at Wang Ruoshan without blinking. The next second, he pressed his thumb on the start switch.
With a snap, a powerful electric current poured directly into his body. The security guard's body trembled violently, his face became frightened and stiff, and his limbs fell to the ground stiffly, twitching continuously.
Because he still pressed the button of the electric baton and continued to release electric current. When Wang Ruoshan turned her head away in fear and did not dare to look at him, blood was already flowing from the security guard's nose and eyes, and his neck seemed to have become... Much thicker...
"Look at that security guard, that security guard..." Wang Ruoshan turned her head and said nervously to her cousin beside her.
The cousin turned around and saw that the security guard had no strange expression at this time. Instead, he was pacing in front of the security booth with a normal expression. The electric baton was still attached to his waist and had not moved at all.
"Security? Nothing!" she said in surprise.
Wang Ruoshan didn't dare to look back. At this time, the two of them had already entered the community, quickly entered a certain unit building, and went up to the third floor.
Back home, my father went out and only my mother was at home.
My cousin saw that although Wang Ruoshan's face had always been a little pale, she seemed to have calmed down. After telling her aunt, she left by herself.
After Wang Ruoshan went into the bathroom, she washed her face, and then told her mother that she was very tired and wanted to rest, so she entered the bedroom holding the wooden sculpture still wrapped in red cloth.
"What is that?" Mother asked from behind.
"I just bought a wooden sculpture." Wang Ruoshan replied, "It is said to be able to ward off evil spirits."
A soft sigh came from behind. Wang Ruoshan did not look back, and she had no energy to comfort her mother who was worried about her. She just pushed the bedroom door open with a tired face, walked in and closed the door.
Put the wood carving without untied red cloth on the bedside table. At this moment, there is also a white jade Buddha statue on the bedside table. Just looking at the appearance, it seems to be valuable, much more valuable than the wood carving in the red cloth.
Wang Ruoshan got into the quilt, pressed the quilt on both sides of her body tightly, and closed her eyes tiredly.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, or how long she slept, but she vaguely felt the bedroom door ring, as if it was opened, and then someone entered the room.
Wang Ruoshan opened her eyes and looked up. When she saw the scene in front of her, her whole body trembled and she lost all sleep.
He saw his mother, wearing home clothes, standing at the end of the bed, her body facing her side, her hands hanging down, standing still.
On the mother's neck, a sharp kitchen knife was stuck across it, piercing through the front of the throat and poking out the back of the neck. The blood flowing out seemed to have dried up, and the clothes on the chest and back were black and red.
But the mother just stood there quietly, motionless.
Wang Ruoshan was originally going to call her mother, but she was so frightened that she couldn't speak at all.
He just slowly pulled up the quilt and covered his head in fear, not daring to look at the horrific scene of his mother with a knife stuck in her neck.
Her heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She felt that her mouth was dry, and the air in the quilt was not circulating, and it was so stuffy that she seemed unable to breathe.
Wang Ruoshan pursed her lips and suppressed the trembling all over her body.
Not long after, footsteps sounded at the end of the bed, and it seemed that the mother walked step by step along the side of the end of the bed to the side near the head of the bed.
Wang Ruoshan was so frightened that she did not dare to speak out. She opened her eyes in horror, holding on to the quilt with one hand and covering her mouth with the other hand. The lower half of her face had been strangled due to excessive force. Very pale.
She could clearly feel that her mother was standing in front of her face, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, the standing man slowly squatted down, his head only two punches away from Wang Ruoshan's face under the quilt.
Wang Ruoshan felt that her whole body was numb and her head was buzzing. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just instinctively felt that this quilt could not protect her at all.
The so-called barrier under the quilt is all a lie!
She could feel that her mother could lift the quilt covering her body at any time, exposing herself to the other person's eyes without reservation.
The next second, a hand pressed on her head on the quilt.
Wang Ruoshan almost screamed. Her whole body was shaking like chaff, and she could still be seen intuitively even through the quilt.
The hand pressing her head began to caress her slowly, and a voice from her mother sounded: "Be good...Shanshan, be good..."
Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Ruoshan felt a sudden warmth under her legs. She covered her mouth and silently shed tears, knowing that she had been frightened to the point of incontinence.
I just kept being stroked on my head by my mother who was squatting outside. After a long time, the feeling of being stroked disappeared, and my mother got up and left.
She never dared to lift the quilt, even though it was already very uncomfortable to curl up on the bed.
At this moment, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.
After Wang Ruoshan heard it, she didn't dare to reach out to get it. Instead, the bedroom door opened and her mother's normal voice sounded.
"Shanshan, your phone is ringing."
It was as if the mother had completely returned to normal at this moment, and the scene just now never happened.
Wang Ruoshan opened the quilt a little, revealing her head and hands, and glanced at her mother in fear.
The unknowing mother had already closed the bedroom door and walked to the kitchen.
Picked up the phone and pressed the connect button.
"Hello?"
A man's voice came: "Hi, hello, I am the owner of the wood carving shop, Shen Xing, the owner of the wood carving shop you just bought."
"Oh, is something wrong?" Wang Ruoshan asked weakly.
Shen Xing clearly felt it on the other end: "Excuse me, did you encounter anything weird, or something unbelievable that only you know?"
Hearing this, Wang Ruoshan immediately became energetic and spoke with a little more energy: "Yeah, yes, my hallucinations are very severe, and even seeing a psychiatrist is of no use."
"Maybe it's not an hallucination." Shen Xing shook his head and asked, "Did you also encounter this so-called 'hallucination' just now?"
Because he has been receiving the characteristic energy transformed by fear value, he asked this question.
"Well, it's scary. I saw my mother..."
Shen Xing didn't let her continue and asked: "Where is the wood carving you just bought? Do you keep it with you?"
At this time, Wang Ruoshan turned her attention to the wood carving on the bedside table: "Well, I was lying on the bed, and the wood carving was on the bedside table."
"Is this impossible?" Shen Xing was a little confused, paused, and guessed: "Did you cover the wood carving with something?"
"Your clerk wrapped it in a layer of red cloth and gave it to me. I haven't opened it yet." Wang Ruoshan replied.
"Tear off the red cloth and don't cover it with anything." Shen Xing said: "From now on, keep this wooden sculpture with you at all times. If you have any questions, you can call me on this phone."
Wang Ruoshan sat up from the bed. Although the wet bedding made her feel very uncomfortable, she still took the wooden sculpture wrapped in red cloth over first.
Following Shen Xing's instructions, she untied the red rope from the red cloth and fully displayed the wooden sculpture in front of her eyes, revealing a young man with an unfamiliar but handsome face.
